Are you looking forward to the next few days? If there is no one having to work in two days, then you can enjoy the weekend.  Today is my Mother’s heavenly birthday.  My step-dad always made us say Mother instead of Mom, I wish I had asked him the reason, too late now.

The card I am sharing today is created using Stampin’ Up! Hand Penned Petals Stamp Set, available May 4 for customers to purchase.  I know this is going to be my favorite.  The stamp set and the DSP are so beautiful and you will agree I am certain.

My design inspiration comes from the Mojo Monday Challenge.   

The Sisterhood of Crafters challenge is HOW DOES YOUR GARDEN GROW?  (Create using something you’d find in a garden!)  Flowers are in the garden even if it is vegetable.  My grandmother planted Marigolds around the border of her garden, she said to keep the bugs away from her vegetable plants.

My card base is Mint Macaron with a panel of the same embossed with Meadow Moments Embossing Folder adhered to the card base.

Two different sizes of panels of Handed Penned DSP are cut and matted on Highland Heather card stock, then adhered over the embossed panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  A length of ribbon is adhered over these panels vertically.    A lacy circle from my scrap stash is popped over the ribbon.

One of the flower images from the Hand Penned Petals Stamp Set is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink and colored using Dark & Light Highland Heather, Dark & Light Mint Macaron, and Dark & Light Rococo Rose(retiring May 4 get it while you can) Stampin’ Blends Markers.  I stamped an extra Rococo flower, colored, fussy cut, and popped over the one on the art piece.  I then adhered the art piece over the lacy circle, added a Gorgeous Grape Linen bow with a 2021-2023 In Color Jewel in the center of the bow.

The “Thinking of You” greeting from the Beautiful Moments Stamp Set is stamped in Highland Heather ink on a Basic White card stock scrap, fussy cut, and matted on a scrap of Highland Heather card stock, fussy cut again, then popped on the card from.  You will probably be seeing cards in the next few days all with a Thinking of You greeting as a friend requested I make her 10 different cards all with “Thinking of You” as the greeting.  The Beautiful Moments Stamp Set pairs beautifully with the Hand Penned Petals Stamp Set and DSP.

I fussy cut flowers from a panel of the Hand Penned DSP adding them down the side of the blank sentiment panel.

A panel of the Hand Penned DSP gets adhered to the flap of a medium Basic White envelope.

If you would like to create this card all the products used and the card cuts are at the end of this post.
